B. Germ-nuclei (?, d") in the reticular stage; the attraction-sphere (a) contains the dividing centrosome. C. Chromosomes forming in the germ-nuclei; the centrosome divided. D. Each germ-nucleus resolved into two chromosomes; attraction-sphere [a) double. E. Mitotic figure forming for the first cleavage; the chromosomes {c) already split. F. First cleavage in progress, showing divergence of the daughter-chromosomes toward the spindle-poles (only three chromosomes shown)..
